It can breathe fire out of its mouth, launch artillery-style fire balls in an arc and spin rapidly, spewing fire from its tail-pipes. It can also launch two powerful missiles that home in on the target. These are very powerful, and can deplete shields and dramatically cut a character's health in one hit. Badassasaurus can also rear up on its tracks and slam its front wheels down, throwing attackers back and causing damage. The skin on the vehicle has a high chance of reflecting bullets back at the attacker. It can also, like most vehicles in the game, simply run a character over if they get too close.

When you kill the Badassasuarus, it has a chance of dropping the Slow Hand shotgun.

In True Vault Hunter Mode, the Badassasaurus's name changes to Badassasaurus Rex.

There are five known critical hit zones on Badassasaurus, each one a dark red/brown barrel. Due to his enormous size and the fact that he isn't resistant to explosive damage, grenades will deal substantial damage, also. The Badassasaurus is resistant to fire, shock, and non-elemental damage. It is also unaffected by slag as well as amp shield damage
